The movie ending lacked both WTF!Aliens and Dan bleaching his hair blond and growing a stupid mustache, so I feel it was a general improvement (especially on the mustache/hair front). Also, it was very pretty.
It was also the most violent thing that wasn't a horror movie or war movie that I've ever seen, which I'm betting puts a lot of viewers off. I know more than one person in fandom who would probably not be able to sit through another moment of the film after seeing the Comedian murder the pregnant Vietnamese woman.
if you zoom in on Rorschach and Dan, you don't have to notice the rest of it...
That's what I plan to do when enjoying the fanworks for it (I can't help it; marginally stable person/colossally fucked-up violent person who needs someone to hold their leash is one of my pairing kinks from way back). Though actually, I've found that I like characters in the movie/fanfic/fandom discussions who left me totally cold in the comic. It seems all it takes is the magic touch of a writer who's not Alan Moore.
This fic is, pretty much, exactly how things are with Dan and Laurie. Dead on.
*blushes* Yay, thanks! One thing that struck me both in the comic and the move was that Dan and Laurie made much better friends than lovers.
